Employer demand for labor continues to outpace the supply. With the
unemployment rate at a 10-year low, manufacturers around the U.S. are
scrambling to find enough qualified talent, including an increasing need
for mid-level skills.

Addressing the skills gap manufacturers face today, Mike Brown, Vice
President, Talent Acquisition, Americas Region, Siemens, and Mike
Starich, CEO of Orion Talent, team up to present: “Case
Study: Insights from Siemens’ Workforce Program to Attract and Retain
Top Talent” on May 9 at 11:15 AM EDT. This timely presentation will
offer insights into Siemens’ newly revamped workforce program to recruit
and retain skilled talent and support growth over the next decade.
Topics covered include:

Additionally, the presentation delves into Siemens Corporation’s
approach to military recruiting, a carefully-crafted program that has
resulted in the hiring of over 2,700 Veterans, a retention rate that far
surpasses the market norm, and a continuous pipeline of high-caliber
military talent.

“While Veterans remain a top tier recruiting target for most
manufacturers, only a handful of Human Resources departments are
satisfied with their military talent programs,” explains Starich. “In
the program we developed with Siemens, our focus is on determining which
roles are well-suited to military experience, the uniqueness of a
Veteran’s job search situation, as well as supporting their transition
into the civilian workplace. Each of these assets are equally important
when it comes to finding the right talent, and enabling military job
seekers to excel in their new roles.”

“At Siemens our jobs are highly technical and require significant
knowledge and experience,” said Brown. “Our previous reliance on a more
reactive approach to talent acquisition was not supplying us with the
quality and quantity of candidates we required. Many manufacturers
continue to struggle with this problem, so I look forward to sharing our
story with the hope that we provide some new thinking on how to
consistently meet the talent demands of our businesses.”

Held this year in Raleigh from May 8 to 11, the IndustryWeek Manufacturing
& Technology Conference & Expo attracts over 1,500 senior
manufacturing professionals from all over the country. The 3-day event
focuses on the key elements of advanced manufacturing: lean and
continuous improvement, leadership, technology integration, talent
management and best practices to achieve operational excellence.
